amnesty to something like 3 million undocumented workers that were in the u.s. at that time. now 25 years later, there are between 11 and 15 million, depending on who you believe. what makes you think that going around and documenting illegals wouldn't just sort of say to others, come on in, eventually you will get your citizenship? >> well, what is being proposed now by responsible republicans, like president bush several years ago and president reagan, it's not an amnesty. what they are saying is let's have a path to legalization. if you speak english, you pass a background check, if you pay back taxes and get behind those that are trying to get here illegally, then eventually you get a path to legalization, not citizenship. it will take ten years eventually to maybe be eligible for citizenship. that's not an amnesty, and that's basically saying with the 11 million that we have here illegally, we are going to give them an opportunity to show that they embrace american values, they can work here if they are law-abiding. if they satisfy those conditions -- >> let me give the congressman a
